In this course you will learn about linear algebra by solving a carefully designed sequence. The span of the empty subset of a vector space is the trivial subspace.
Exercise and solution manual for a first course in linear algebra. A vector space is a nonempty set v, whose objects are called vectors, equipped with two operations. A system of n linear equations in n unknowns, written in matrix form a x b as. Geometrically, the vector 3, 15, 7 lies in the plane spanned by v 1 and v 2 see example 7 above, so adding multiples of v 3 to linear combinations of v 1 and v 2 would yield no vectors off this plane. We introduce the notion of vector span, which is the set of all possible linear combinations.
